Tanabe Power G Medalion Install on EK3 Hatch

[chartinael]

So, I bought this muffler of flipmods here on OZhonda and finanlly managed to get the appropriate exhaust manifold to swap out my EK3 Setup for an EH6/Ek4 Setup.

The Ek3 has the kat integrated in the exhaust manifold and a b-pipe that with a pinky-sized diameter.

So I swapped out the ek3 exhaust manifold and put an EH6 manifold in its place. That is the 4-2-1 stock set up of a del sol targa. Put the D16 cat down and added an Ek4 b-pipe. All fit rather well. But the muffler was a bit problematic. Wouldn't match the B-Pipe flange and was a bit too long so we sawed of the muffler flange and sawed of a flange of another cat and welded the cat flange onto the muffler pipe. Turned out really well. Muffler is well positioned, looks and sounds great. Just what I wanted. Flipmods, your welcome to stay with me if you want to visit Berlin ;-)

Calipers were painted while the car was up to have exhaust put on. So, that's why those non-informative pics are in here now.

excellent! looks great kristin, nice n subtle exhaust :) looks similar to my spoon street muffler, which required no modification to put on as it bolts to the stock b pipe!

yes he did and I am so grateful, there is just nothing comparable over here. I don't like the looks of the remus, superspringt, magnaflow, fireball mufflers .... my tanabe looks and sounds just the way I wanted it to .... and I thing the power Gs look better than the hyper Gs although I was first set on getting Hyper but this older versions really goes well with the rear lip. the slanted double edge tip really does it for me :-) And guess what, I got it all engineered today.

The exhaust is not loud. And when the engineer was to certify it they said, turn on the car and I did and then Daniel said, I thought you said you already put that thing on, and I said - I knew you'd make a comment like that ... Anyways, despite not having any sort of certificate I got it all certified. I am so happy, I really am.
